LG Display: heavy losses due to weak LCD demand. BNP Paribas: LCD industry giving way to AMOLEDs

LG Display reported heavy losses, as the company sees continued weak demand from TV makers. Interestingly, BNP Paribas bank estimates that the LCD TV industry has peaked - and will shrink by 3-4 percent a year. This is due to new displays such as AMOLEDs.

This seems a bit optimistic - as in all probability it will take at least 2-3 years for OLED TVs to really start to gain market in share.
